The Governess comes out of her hiding place and tells the Governess that she has just seen ada smith and that she wants to check on her health. She tells her that the family is not safe, so she will not leave them. She asks if the smell coming from the house is from the smiths or from the fordleons, and she wonders why the smell is so strong. She also asks if it is because the family has surrendered themselves to the "useless woman" of the day. She then asks if there is anything wrong with the family, and if they are playing a game of hide-and-seek.
